I laugh every time I see that comment because I had to use my stock 360 pad for that challenge. I'm not so good with the stick yet. I'm getting better though.haunts said:

Yeah I think that has happened to me as well. I have sort of gravitated towards charge characters more because a)It's harder to mess up inputs and b)They hide my noobiness of being able to execute moves consistently from only one side :lolArchie said:That is why Blanka is my main. I don't have to worry about any combos outside of a few crossups. He's probably the easiest character in the game to play competently.
thank god i did switch though. How I overlooked the awesomeness of Bison for 10+ years is astounding.
I rememeber back in the days of street fighter 2, whenever I knocked my best friend over to the right side, he would completely freeze up and basically do nothing but repeatidly jump towards me in nothing but an attempt to get over to the left side so that he could start fighting again.Threi said:
Finished Dhalsim's Normal & Hard trials I FINALLY figured out the "secret" (or trick) to pulling off the MK > yoga flame. Someone advised people to use df, back+LP to do the yoga flame (and it works). I noticed that when you push back+LP, you have to kinda HOLD back and not just tap it. Works like a charm now
Yeah...I didn't understand any of that either.
(the post, by FindMyFarms: So here's a mind blown moment for me. I NEVER knew this until today. If you block relative to your opponent, then you'll block everything.
I was playing a dhalsim and he was abusing me with his lp yoga fire -> tiger knee teleport -> jumping back fierce punch, back s. mk, yoga flame. I'd fall for it everytime, then some onlooker was like, dude, block in his direction and the yoga fire won't hit you. It made the match 12039812x easier!!!
Is this a general street fighter rule?)

what he meant was (I believe) that say dhalsim does yoga fire and then teleports behind you before the fire hits.
Now you have sim in front of you, and a fireball coming at you from behind. To block the fireball, you press away from sim (towards the fireball) and that will block both sim's attacks and the fireball.
I have no idea if that's true, but that is how I read his comment. The point being that it is impossible to hit someone from both sides at the same time in such a way as to make it unblockable.

I can do it sometimes. My problem is that I hold mp+mk and press forward forward then let go of mp+mk and it doesn't cancel into dash half the time unless i do it MINDBLOWINGLY FUCKING FAST. It seems to work better if I press forward forward at the exact same time as the FA and don't hold down mp+mk. Sometimes I think it works when I press them at the exact same time and only hit forward once.

I've practiced this constantly and I still don't have it down. I'm using a Dual Shock 3 and can nail the first 2 parts about 80% of the time now. But almost every time I go for the Ultra I end up doing a EX Shoryuken. I'm not confident enough to do this in online matches so I've avoided it. I do have a USB Saturn pad on the way, I hope that'll fix my problems or at least improve my current situation.

Forgive me for the basic question, but arcade heads, when talking about directions,
is it
123
456
789
or
789
456
123
?
Where each number is one of the 8 directions (except 5 of course)

You know how dhalsim can throw a fireball at you, then teleport behind you? Well in that situation :
Dhalsim on your left, his fireball on your right.
If you hold right, you'll block the fireball.
OK I uploaded all 5 of the matches between Young Legends and myself..

NORMAL 360 dpad, ABNORMAL skillz. Props man, the one time I used the 360 pad the only I thing I could execute consistently was getting perfected.

For anyone on XBL.. I ran into a guy named "N DRU"
He has a pretty good Chun but man.. his Dhalsim is SICK.
Just a fyi on him. He's really good. Could beat him a few times.. I beat his Chun every time. With Fuerte that is.

I am Korean.
I remember playing him in VF5 before. Turtle Kage IIRC.TurtleSnatcher said:
This game is a lot more fun now that I've done a bit of research and actually get how to play and how to string combos and whatnot together. I'm still not all that good, but I'm getting better faster than when I was fiddling around on my own.
I've always hated this practice. It's just confusing and requires a bit of thought to translate. It makes far more sense to me to just use u, d, f, b (up, down, back, forward), and double them up for diagonals (uf, df, ub, db).

Will Goku manage to find the 666 ways to execute FADC his kamehameha wave?
Do you have "modes"? Like this is what I'll do when I'm far away...and this is my gameplan when I get up close (like I'll keep pressuring him with my knee, throw out pokes, FADC...throw, etc)?
Are you going to enter the Evo tournament...with the rest of your crew?

It's not that hard. Look at your numpad....
Besides, the numbers thing is something you see more commonly in the Guilty Gear scene. Same goes for MB and most other doujin (or former-doujin) fighters.

Sorry again MicVlaD for leaving after one game, but without heavy kick and medium punch buttons it was kinda pointless. :lol
Is there really no menu to change the button config as soon you go online?
So yeah, I'm trying the RSF on Fuerte's hard trial 5 now and damn, no way I will ever be able to pull this off in a real match. Screwed around with the buttons to make it a bit easier, but that didn't help at all. :lol
But it looks like that I figured out the rhythm, so I hope I can do it at least in the trial.

Is Akuma even worth anything out of the hands of a pro? He takes so much damage, and raging demon would be useless if it wasn't for the massive damage. Every single Akuma player I have played relies on Raging Demon, which is so stupidly easy to punish.
Anyways, anyone up for a few games? GT: D3vinchi

There are VERY few guaranteed setups for Raging Demons. The only one I have seen work is using it as a far anti-air. (Compare that to, say, Rufus, which I started playing this week. In a few hours I could consistently do THREE guaranteed Ultra setups, one of which is so ridiculously easy to do that I land it 99% of the time).
Of course, 99% of the Akuma population can't pull it quick enough to be an anti-air, so... I've had it super cancelled on me by some guy on XBL - I was seriously impressed with his execution, but... jump up. Oooh, that hurts that you super cancelled into your raging demon from a blocked fireball and I STILL managed to jump out of it. It seriously is the single worst Super/Ultra in the game. Hell, it's worse than Honda's Ultra, which is, for all intents and purposes, a complete joke.
I haven't played Gutter_Trash's Honda, but I'm quite certain even he knows how crap that Ultra is. Is there even a way to link it?

Yea blanka is the best character for me to play on controller too. I'll never get a arcade stick for this, and the next step for me is the saturn pad. I'll try to go back to Abel after the pad. All of the practice, and matches I put into blanka in SSFIIt HDR made blanka more comfortable for me in this game.
Finished Chun-Li's Normal & Hard Trials. So far, her's are the most complicated; they want you to do SO much. I wouldn't say that they're the most "difficult", though. Her last trial took me a while, however. I kept messing up 2 things: 1) a successful FA and 2) timing her Ultra
GG MicVlaD. I even won a match! Progress! But wow, I know my Ultra execution sucks and I still don't know how to land it on Dhalsim, but today I didn't even get EX leg throws out of it. :lol
Probably too much time wasted on the trials + bit too tired.
Note to myself: More EX-runs, idiot!
His toolset is awesome and you don't need to be a pro to use it. Raging Demon is not that bad. At least I don't think it is much worse than Fuerte's ultra and that is already pretty awesome.

so whats the consensus now that this shit has been out for a bit?
i'm pretty much sticking with my "street fighter EX 4" synopsis: it's nowhere CLOSE to the 2d legacy street fighters, but it's a damn good EX game imo.
the jumping timing, the ultra move balance (too easy to rack up and over-used) and the wacked-out characters are what ruin it for me. and some of the levels are just down-right fucking dumb (volcano level, anyone?)

Yeah... okay.
Vega's ultra isn't quite there either.. I guess you can land it on a dizzy? Won said:
The problem is the Raging Demon is that
1- It's VERY to see coming from a MILE away (except in the hands of very good players)
2- It's VERY easy to avoid. Probably the easiest Ultra to avoid in SF4, imo.
Fuerte's Ultra is awesome, but you need to know the exact range it has for it to be useful. I suck with Fuerte, mind you, but after a Tortilla Buster you're in perfect range, so if you time it well you pretty much always hit (unless the people I was playing are absolutely stupid and just can't evade at all). It's also pretty good as anti-air, if you can time it.

Akuma has a decently quick FA. Once you get your ultra his FA becomes a pretty good pressure tool IMO. Not to mention FA get up shenanigans is a pretty easy way to land his ultra.
Might not be the best, but definitely not the worst. Amazing damage plus being an excellent punisher forces your opponents to start playing REALLY safe.
